Bättra was founded in 2010 as a Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB), and delivers high value operations research and supply chain consulting services to commercial and government clients. Bättra is the Swedish word for “Improve”, which was chosen because it embodies the company’s mission of improving its clients’ operations. Although Bättra is a Swedish word, it is a U.S. company.

Overall Mission Statement:
We understand Lean is all about People, not simulations or consulting expertise! We help employees improve the processes they touch, rather than re-designing processes for them.
List of Product/Service Offerings:
Business Analytics
Bättra helps your organization turn its Big Data into meaningful business insights using easy to comprehend dashboards and visual aids. Whether you are a manufacturer, healthcare provider, logistics organization, or a shared service function within a larger organization, we can help unlock value within your existing enterprise data by understanding what should be measured in alignment with the organization’s overall business strategy and developing a plan on how to analyze the data and display the metrics in a dashboard.
Modeling & Simulation
As supply chains, logistics networks, and business processes grow and interconnect, continuous performance optimization is critical to meet customer demands and restrain costs. Increasing complexity means that disruptions due to internal or external events will grow in magnitude, posing great risks to firms that can’t afford delays, resets, or lost revenue. Bättra’s expertise in discrete event simulation enables organizations to accurately replicate complex, real-world processes, conduct predictive performance analysis on potential changes, and optimize across any performance measure with no disruption to current operations. Discrete event simulation offers many analytical benefits over static models and spreadsheet tools, especially in resource constrained environments.
N-Tier Illumination: Automated Supply Chain Discovery
Bättra has launched N-Tier Illumination; a cloud-based, automated supply chain discovery and illumination tool designed to quickly and securely document every tier of your supply chain. N-Tier Illumination continuously works upstream in your supply chain to identify, validate, and map key supplier relationships in order to trace the origin of your critical materials and more effectively enable Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) processes.
Process Improvement & LSS
We often find that organizations are not making a meaningful investment in process improvement. In a high performing Lean organization process improvement is baked into daily activities, continuously improving how the work is performed through self-examination (Gemba) and experimentation. We help organizations become high performing and Lean from any stage of maturity.
Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM)
Bättra helps organizations develop and implement strategies to reduce vulnerability to everyday and exceptional risks throughout the supply chain. We offer supply chain mapping services and tools to gain visibility into your supply chain and advanced analytics to determine the Value at Risk (VAR) and Time to Recovery (TTR).
Bättra is a member of the SCRM Consortium™, a group of companies providing education, assessment tools and consulting services in support of the needs of organizations at all stages of SCRM maturity.
Bättra uses proprietary supply chain illumination tools to rapidly map the facility-to-facility relationships of key product value streams and optionally store and manage, more detailed process level data (individual product transformation processes that occur within each node, i.e. within the 4-walls of a manufacturing facility) in order to estimate lead time and time-phased production capabilities during a national mobilization or surge event.
Survey Lifecycle Management
Bättra has a proven capability to help organizations collect and understand stakeholder feedback. These insights help our clients take an inward look at their programs and resources. We help our clients develop systematic and concise action plans to improve their internal and external relationships, which ultimately has a positive impact on financial performance or mission success.
